Helms 5-for-5 for Sweeties Tuesday, April 14th , 2048 The Ho Chi Minh City Tigers downed the Sarasota Sweeties, 5-4, at Sweeties Ballpark, in spite of the best efforts of Sarasota left fielder Kyle Helms. Helms lashed the ball all over the park in a 5-hit explosion, finishing with a 5-for-5 line -- and a loss. "I don't remember a better day batting, but it sure is disappointing to lose the game," he said to BNN reporters in the postgame interview. "A win would have made the day much sweeter." Asked if he would adjust his strategy next time the Tigers face Helms, Ho Chi Minh City manager Aaron Lazier said "absolutely not." "Our strategy was to not give him good pitches to hit," he said. "We didn't do that, and he worked us over. Thankfully, we won anyway, and next time we'll pitch to him better." Kyle Helms singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 7th and singled in the 9th. View Boxscore |
